Square Watermelons

 

Internet photo

Have you ever seen square watermelons? This photo is from Zentsuji, Kagawa Prefecture in Japan. These watermelons are grown in transparent plastic containers, resulting in these 18 cm cubic watermelon that sell for arount 10,000 yen each. They weigh about 6 kg each. They are not edible and are used mainly as display pieces in department stores and fruit shops. Maybe this is only in Japan.
